"Marseille wants to buy Mexes" © EuroFootball.com

The French club is very interested in the defender Philippe Mexes, who is currently playing in the team. However, acquiring this experienced player will not be easy - he is already being closely followed by an Italian club.

The team from Marseille is also interested in the Colombian defender Mario Yepes currently playing in the club, as well as several other players whom they will likely try to acquire if they fail to reach an agreement with Mexes.

There is also interest in the duo Benoit Pedretti and Pierre-Alain Frau, although the latter's price is approximately 5 million euros, as well as Eric Carriere, Sabri Lamouchi, and Marcello Gallardo.

Currently, negotiations are also taking place with Laurent Blanc regarding the position of sports director. This former "Manchester United" defender claims that before making a decision, he wants clear guarantees, although the team's manager Christophe Bouchetas noted that the delay is not due to financial reasons.

"Negotiations are taking place regarding the definition of duties. The delay is only due to planning issues, there is no need to rush," - said the team's manager.
